Most all of the pistons use the same dimension rings.Shouldn't be any problem unless it has a custom ring pack.The aftermarket company's ring packs are mostly Hastings and Sealed Power combinations anyway.

i can see why you shouldnt be able to mix and match rings between brands of pistons. As long as your end gap is within spec, you should be fine...
bump because i want to know if all rings are the same between piston companies

Seriously...you can run a set of 81.5mm rings from whatever brands they sell, and it'll work for an aftermarket forged piston?

Re: (boostincoupe)
yeah..wouldnt b20 pistons rings work? maybe not... i didnt think much about the size..
they sell some decent rings.. the size (thickness) should be the same as factory stuff. obviously hes better off, with big pistons, going with CP stuff.
